Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Rafaela's family in Curitiba
After a car accident, Rafaela is 4 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I have two young children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $850 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Rent arrears (4 months): $710
• Utilities in arrears: $100
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope it all works out, Rafaela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Machakos donated after I showed her your page.
